Sustainable mobility for campsites: The case of Macchia Lucchese

The study concerns a part of the research work developed within the project GreenCamp, funded by the Regione Toscana and aiming at defining a model of sustainable management and competitive territorial campsite cluster. The main objective of the study was a sustainable mobility system for the customers of 3 campsites, located in a protected area, through the evaluation of the economic and environmental sustainability. In order to assess the connection between the 3 campsites and the coastal area as well as the nearby Regional Park of Migliarino, San Rossore and Massaciuccoli, two alternatives for a sustainable mobility have been assessed: a diesel-powered tourist train and an electric tourist train.
